Pinkvilla quoted a source saying, "This is easily one of the biggest castings in recent years. Oh My God is among Akshay Kumar’s most loved franchises, and it’s only getting bigger with Rani Mukerji joining the film. Her presence will add immense gravitas and freshness to the narrative."
The source also revealed that Rai has "cracked a story that is bigger, more relevant, and hard-hitting than the previous instalments."
"Akshay was clear that OMG 3 had to scale up in every aspect, from story, emotions, to performances, and Rani coming on board has made the film even bigger," added the source.
The details of the plot are still under wraps, but we are sure, like last time, Rai will present yet another socially relevant subject with these two powerhouse talents.
The official announcement of OMG 3 is awaited.
OMG franchise
The Oh My God franchise started with the release of its first instalment in 2012, starring Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar. It opened to positive reviews and was a huge success. It showed Rawal as an atheist who sues God after an earthquake destroys his shop. Akshay played Lord Krishna in it. The second instalment, starring Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam, was released in 2023, where Akshay played the messenger of Lord Shiva. The makers chose a bold topic—sex education in India, which led to controversy ahead of its release. The Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC) granted the film an ‘A – Adults Only’ certificate with 27 cuts.
